9.11.98 - GnomeNEWS

A day isn't complete unless I've received one or two "forwarded" messages from someone. You know what I'm talking about? The ones that say that some poor child is dying of cancer, or that Disney is giving away a free trip to Disneyworld? I have one word for you: FAKE! Do people really believe that Bill Gates can't wait to give away his hard earned money if you help him forward a message to others online? Really?!

If you want to show your Internet intelligence, stop forwarding messages like this. If it sounds "too good" or "too weird" to be true, it isn't. There's no such thing as a "good luck" e-mail message. They're junk, and they're almost worse than spam. So the next time you receive something like that in your Inbox, delete it. Don't turn around, just delete it. Life goes on. The Internet will move slightly faster.

Don't feel bad if you've done it before, just... don't do it again.

Food Composition v1.0 [1.5M] FREE W9x/NT4

A day isn't complete without a cheese sandwich for me. I realize that's not the healthiest thing I could be putting into my mouth, but it's low fat cheese and wheat bread! Sometimes we "computer people" need to watch our diet. If only we had a... wait! Here's a nutritional database with information for ~6,000 items! Know exactly how many nutrients (or lack thereof) you're consuming when you eat certain foods, plus you can see the percentages of carbohydrates, protein, and fat (which are also shown in a pie chart). Toggle the serving size and number of servings, just in case you're like me and eat everything in one sitting. BURP!

Found by Mary Jane DiNardo

Who has time to play games anymore? If we're not busy with work, we're downloading upgrades for our Operating System. Out of all the games you own, which ones do you play most often? Well, add Stone's Throw to the mixture--a well-designed, inexpensive, and (best of all) fun way to spend a few hours of your life. If you love "dice games," then you'll roll yourself into submission with these three games: Shut the Box, Poker Dice, & 10,000. All work and no play makes Homer a something something...

FONT: ST:TNG Cast & Other Awesome Dingbats [170k]

I debated on whether or not to tell you about this particular font, or just to send you directly to its website. My recommendation? Download this sucker if you're a Trek fanatic, but visit the site no matter what you like. There are AWESOME Dingbats for Hercules & Xena, Classic Monsters, Jay Leno, The X-Files, Famous Women, and a few more!

GnomeTIP

A Lockergnome Subscriber let me in on a little-known secret for turning on the NUM LOCK key in NT4. In Control Panel -> System -> Environment, add a user variable "NUMLOCK" with the value of "ON". Whenever you log on to the workstation, the NUM LOCK key will come on. NT4 ignores the BIOS 'NUM LOCK' state. Show that key who's boss!
